Living Food is authentic, organic food that is presented to us just how Nature made it. It is food that has not been altered in any way to change its cellular structure or composition.
It is food that has not had extreme heat applied to it, nor has it been processed in any way. Therefore it is authentic food that contains its full spectrum of minerals, vitamins, anti-oxidants, phyto-nutrients, chlorophyll, oxygen and other essential compounds.
Living Foods include seasonal uncooked fruits, vegetables sprouts, nuts, and seeds: uncooked sea vegetables, AFA, organic coconut oil, small amounts of organic olive oil, raw cacao beans, (raw chocolate), goji berries, raw organic honey, herbs and seasonings.
HOW WILL LIVING FOODS RAWJUVENATE MY LIFE?
Living foods contain the ‘life force’ of the plant and when we eat Living foods, they in turn give us Life. Every –Body who eats exclusively from Nature’s Living foods is rewarded far beyond their wildest dreams. As more and more people throughout the world embrace eating a diet of Living foods, many are documenting their liberation from an endless list of ailments that had progressively stolen their joy, passion and aliveness.
These include the miseries of obesity, backache, arthritis, allergies, acne, chronic fatigue, diabetes, cancer, menopausal imbalances, hormonal chaos, high blood pressure, candida, digestive problems, anxiety and depression. How wonderful is that!
*Authentic, lasting Health and Beauty can only come from the Inside Out.
*A living food lifestyle is your passport to the Fountain of Youth!
*You’ll be the proud owner of an enviable ’glow’ that gets YOU noticed.
*Deep wrinkles soften, fine lines, under-eye bags and circles disappear. Your skin becomes smoother and softer. Saggy skin tightens, open pores become invisible, blotches disappear and skin tone improves.
*No other way of eating will produce this dramatic ‘youthing’ of your appearance.
*You certainly won’t need expensive anti-aging creams, pills or invasive surgery that falsely promises to restore lost beauty. Many people who attend our Rawjuvenate For Life Programs and Retreats have literally looked 10 years younger, more beautiful and can lose 3-5 kilos of excess weight in as little as 7 days. So many people experience feeling well again – sleeping better with more energy and a calmness that they haven’t had in their lives for a long time.
HOW IS LIVING FOOD DIFFERENT FROM COOKED FOODS?
Nature has ensured that Living foods contain all the necessary enzymes required for the body’s metabolic functions to take place. Enzymes are literally the sparks of life. Every function that takes place in our bodies is dependant on enzymes. Living foods contain enzymes that activate all the genes that protect you from disease and keep you from aging prematurely.
Your body has its own supply of metabolic enzymes and digestive enzymes, which assist in digesting different foods.
When Nature’s foods are heated obove 110 degrees F or 44 degrees Celsius, the enzymes are destroyed and our cells do not receive the necessary nourishment and energy. Synthetic processed and cooked foods have no enzymes. Dr Edward Howell stated in his book Enzyme Nutrition that “ in order for the body to digest food lacking in enzymes (cooked, processed foods) it drew enzymes from it own supply or enzymatic bank account, therefore depleting the body’s reserves.” Low reserves of metabolic enzymes, means a diminished ability to repair cells and fight disease. Eating enzyme-intact Living foods does not rob the body of its own reserves and therefore your vitality and immune system is not jeopardised.
Living foods are high in minerals. Minerals are the most essential elements, necessary for optimum health and youthful looks.
Living Foods are high alkaline foods, the very foods that provide the right internal environment for ‘good bacteria’ to flourish and to keep our body’s immune system in tip top condition.
People today are eating an increasing amount of acid-producing substances. These include foods such as sugar, flour, meat, dairy, coffee, tea, soft drinks, refined grains, prescription and non-prescription drugs. Stress is also acid forming. The body’s pH level drops from 7.0 to 6.2 setting the stage for acidosis to take hold. Symptoms of acidosis include arthritis, candida, weight gain, bladder and kidney conditions, depression, chronic fatigue, allergies, premature aging, joint pain, constipation and other digestive disorders. An overly acid environment allows pests (bacteria, fungus and mould to proliferate), and for cancer cells to thrive in.
WILL A LIVING FOODS LIFESTYLE SUPPLY ME WITH ENOUGH PROTEIN or CALCIUM?
This is a commonly asked question, particularly by people who eat a diet that is high in meat or dairy products. There are several points to mention here.
The food nutrient charts tell us meat is rich in protein, iron and B12. Dairy foods we are told are high in calcium. However, these charts represent the nutrient value of foods in their uncooked state. When these foods are heated, most of the protein, iron, calcium and other nutrients are destroyed. Scientists have known for years that applied heat inactivates vitamins and minerals, drastically reducing absorption by the body. So in reality, we are only getting a fraction of the nutrients if we eat our food cooked.
As far is adequate protein intake is concerned, it is amino acids that provide protein in your body. All 23 amino acids are contained in plants and are far more easily digested and assimilated than cooked coagulated, heavy animal tissue. Not only that but organic plant sources of protein are cleaner and safer with no artificial hormones, antibiotics, chemicals or drugs.
Let’s look at the animal kingdom: the incredibly strong gorilla, the swift racehorse or the powerful buffalo. What do they all eat to get such incredible muscular structure, strength and stamina?
GREEN GRASS, that’s what! Green leafy vegetables are in fact an excellent source of high quality amino acids. Check out gorillas - who anatomically are very similar to humans. Take a good look at their rippling chest muscles. Now that’s the best advertisement for a body building diet of uncooked greens and fruit I’ve ever seen. That’s all the proof I need.
CALCIUM
The best sources of calcium do not come from processed, heated bacteria ridden dairy products. The dairy industry spends billions of dollars each year trying to convince you that you can’t live without one to two glasses of milk each day. Harvard studies conducted on 78,000 women over an 18 year period have revealed that milk consumption does not prevent hip fractures or osteoporosis. The women studied actually broke more bones than the women who rarely drank milk!
Silica and Magnesium are the 2 minerals that build bones – magnesium in particular is extremely deficient in the average Australian diet.
Living foods are rich in these minerals. Again green leafy vegetables, tomatoes, cucumbers, young horsetail, spinach, nettles, are good sources along with kelp, raw cacao almonds, sesame seed paste and mylk, apricots and figs are excellent choices.
I AM ALREADY THIN. WILL A LIVING FOODS LIFESTYLE HELP ME TO GAIN WEIGHT?
Yes, it certainly will. I can speak from personal experience. For many years I struggled to gain weight on a cooked diet and I was plagued with skin rashes. Once I switched to Living Foods, I lost a little more yet my skin was clearing for the first time in ages. This ‘false body’ that consisted of toxins bound in fat cells had inhibited proper functioning of my eliminative organs. Once these toxic wastes were removed, I then began to gain weight in all the right places, my skin was free of rashes, in fact it glowed along with brighter eyes, better vision, an improved digestion and arthritis disappearing.
Many people who have despaired at ever being able to gain weight, attend our Rawjuvenate For Life Programs and Retreats. Not only do Living Foods give them the beautiful body they have wanted, they receive an energy and passion for life that boosts their confidence. Men are sometimes concerned that they may lose weight to begin with. On a 100%Living Foods lifestyle, the body goes through the same process of removing excess fat and toxic waste bound up in these cells. It’s like a major internal housecleaning. Then sure enough the weight comes back. This time, the muscle and tissue is of a superior quality made from superior cells fed with superior blood. The contours of the body retain their attractive shape without the need to spend hours in a gym. A diet of Living foods heals, rejuvenates and sculpts the best body for each individual, every time.
HOW CAN I GET MY FAMILY / HUSBAND / WIFE ONTO A LIVING FOODS LIFESTYLE?
